Greetings,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Today is Christmas, and as the day comes to an end, I wanted to make sure I uploaded this post while it’s still Christmas Day. This morning, I met my mom at my cousin’s church, where we attended a beautiful Christmas Day service and participated in communion. The church itself was stunning, and my recent visit to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception continued to inspire me—it felt so uplifting to be back in a church setting. After the service, we headed to Uncle Bill’s house, where we spent the rest of the day. We started by watching the Chiefs beat the Steelers and later caught the second half of the Ravens/Houston game (Ravens won, by the way!). During the game, we enjoyed a catered dinner, and although it wasn’t homemade, the food was absolutely delicious. After dinner, we opened presents, had dessert, and spent quality time together. It was such a fun and heartwarming experience just vibing with family. Uncle Bill was an amazing host—such a kind and gracious man—and I’m truly grateful to have been invited to celebrate Christmas with him. This holiday season has been so fulfilling. I’ve spent a lot of money, eaten a lot of good food, and had so much fun. While it’s not over yet, with New Year’s just around the corner, I can confidently say this is an incredible period in my life. I want to take a moment to thank God for all His blessings, for bringing me to this point in my life, and for allowing me to share moments like these with my loved ones. I pray for many more holiday seasons like this to come. Merry Christmas!
